BioSpace
2025/08/06Announced On-Track Proteus TM Development Program Completes Capital Raise of $50 Million BRANFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quantum-Si Incorporated (Nasdaq: QSI) (“Quantum-Si,” “QSI” or the “Company”), a proteomics technology company redefining protein analysis through single-molecule detection, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Press Release Highlights First half 2025 revenue of $1.4 million, a 33% increase over same period of 2024 Announced an expanded set of instrument acquisition options in response to current capital purchasing challenges Product development programs remain on track – Proteus TM platform, v4 Sequencing Kit, and v3 Library Preparation Kit Announced two new R&D initiatives that will further accelerate breadth of applications addressable with our core technology Raised gross $50 million in capital through a registered direct offering and updated cash runway into the second quarter of 2028 Announced planned Investor and Analyst Day in New York City in November 2025 “We completed another productive quarter, in particular with our various product development initiatives, across platforms, Sequencing and Library Prep Kits as well as announcing the transition from technology development to product development for two new initiatives aimed at accelerating amino acid coverage and PTMs,” said Jeff Hawkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quantum-Si. “However, in the second quarter, we experienced the full effect of the NIH funding challenges which slowed and, in some cases, stopped the capital sales process. Despite the capital spend slow down, we continue to engage with customers who have operating budgets they wish to deploy towards purchasing protein sequencing consumables for their research. Based on this interest, we have recently launched an expanded set of instrument acquisition options to continue to drive the growth of our user base, capture consumable revenue and generate publications demonstrating the value of our technology. While still in the early days, we are seeing strong interest in these programs and our first placements have already begun purchasing consumables.” Hawkins continued, “On the development front, our R&D team continues to execute well, and our version 4 Sequencing Kit remains on track for a Q3 2025 launch. In addition, we are on track for a Q4 2025 launch of our version 3 Library Preparation Kit which is expected to require a significantly lower sample input amount. Furthermore, we remain on track to achieve successful protein sequencing on a prototype Proteus system by the end of 2025. We expect to provide detailed updates to these program and other initiatives at an Investor & Analyst Day planned for mid-November 2025 in New York City.” Hawkins concluded, “While we experienced some near-term headwinds commercially this quarter, we continue to remain confident in the long-term market opportunity in proteomics and our technology roadmap we are executing against. We are laser focused on delivering on this roadmap and are well capitalized to execute.” Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results For the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded revenue of $591,000. Gross profit was $351,000 and gross margin was 59%. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded revenue of $1.4 million, gross profit of $837,000, and gross margin of 58%. The periodic gross margin rate is expected to be variable in the near term as the Company works through the initial stages of commercialization as well as the timing and mix of product sales between instruments and consumable kits. Total operating expenses were $30.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $26.8 million for the same period in the prior year, and $56.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $50.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted total operating expenses were $23.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $24.4 million for the same period in the prior year, and adjusted total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $46.6 million compared to $46.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The Company continues to manage its operating expenses tightly, while continuing to fund ongoing commercialization efforts, as well as providing new funding to its Proteus development program, which was launched in November 2024. Net loss was $28.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $23.1 million in the same period of the prior year, and a net loss of $48.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $42.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $22.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to negative $22.6 million in the same period of the prior year, and negative $43.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to negative $43.2 million for the same period in the prior year. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted total operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA is provided in a table included in this press release. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities were $214.2 million. In addition, the Company completed a $50 million registered direct offering which closed on July 8, 2025. When including the incremental $50.0 million from this capital raise, the Company now believes that it has sufficient capital to carry operations into the second quarter of 2028.
